ALBERT ANASTASIA’S STORY IS TOLD IN THE FILM THE ALTO KNIGHTS. , WRITTEN BY NICHOLAS PILEGGI AND DIRECTED BY BARRY LEVINSON From acclaimed true-crime author Michael Benson and real-life "Mafia Survivor" Frank DiMatteo, the gripping account of the life and crimes of the most infamous mafia boss of all time: Albert Anastasia, the man whose name is synonymous with Murder, Inc. , and whose actions helped create the American Mafia. The blood-soaked saga of the Murder, Inc. legend who helped create the modern American Mafia-one body at a time-featuring shocking eyewitness accounts. Umberto "Albert" Anastasia was born in Italy at the turn of the century. Five decades later, he would be gunned down in a barbershop in New York City. What happened in the years in between-and why every crime family had reason to want him dead-is one of the most brutal and fascinating stories in the history of American organized crime. This in-depth account of the man who became one of the most powerful and homicidal crime bosses of the twentieth century from Mafia insider Frank DiMatteo is the first full-length book to chronicle Anastasia's bloody rise from fresh-off-the-boat immigrant to founder of the notorious killer's club Murder, Inc. -featuring never-before-told accounts from those who feared him most. They called him "The One Man Army. " "Mad Hatter. " "Lord High Executioner. " Albert Anastasia came to America mean and became a prolific killer. His merciless assassination of Mafia godfather Vincent Mangano is recounted here in chilling first-hand detail. He set the record: the first man in the history of American justice to be charged with four separate murders-and walk free after each one. But in the end, he was the last obstacle in rival Mafia hoodlum Vito Genovese's dream of becoming the boss of bosses-and paid the ultimate price.
